About Sullivan Dental Partners

Four Generations of Trusted Dental Care in Brentwood

Since 1970, our family practice has cared for patients across Brentwood and the greater Nashville area, building relationships that span decades and generations. We combine time-honored values with leading-edge technology to deliver comprehensive care under one roof. Learn about our history, our team, and what makes us a place where everybody knows your name.

Four generations of Sullivan dentists have cared for families in this community, and that history shapes every decision we make. Dr. Richard Sullivan III grew up in Brentwood and never left. His son, Dr. Richard Sullivan IV (Dr. Sully), joined the practice after earning the Dean’s Award for Clinical Excellence at the University of Tennessee. Together, they lead a team of experienced dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants who treat patients the way they’d want their own family treated.

What makes our approach different is the depth of expertise under one roof. Our general dentists have advanced training in areas like implants, cosmetic work, and sedation, which means you rarely need a referral somewhere else. Our in-house lab and on-site CEREC technology let us handle complex cases start to finish, often in fewer visits.

Dr. Rick and Mallori took excellent care of me during surgery. Great care and preparation during the entire surgery. The initial consultation with Dr. Sully and Jess was extremely detailed. The financing options are plentiful. A family member’s experience motivated my decision in choosing Sullivan Dental Partners. The all-in-one place care was a huge consideration. No back and forth visits with multiple dental doctors. Complete in house care.

Everyone was so nice and made you feel at ease. The girl that did all my X-rays and other tests was so sweet. Jess explained everything so well for my upcoming procedure. Dr Sullivan treated me with kindness also. They all helped take away some of my embarrassment. I can hardly wait for my new smile!

I put off my teeth for decades. DECADES. Embarrassed, anxious, convinced I’d get lectured. I felt hopeless. From the moment I walked into Sullivan, none of that happened.I needed a lot: crowns, fillings, and a gum procedure. Dr. Amber and the rest of amazing staff treated me like a person, not a burden. They explained everything before they touched anything, checked in constantly, and never made me feel small for how long I’d waited.I smile now. I didn’t before.I can’t remember the last time a dentist’s office made me feel this cared for. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist like I was, stop. Go here. You’ll be glad you did.
